CH-47A Assistance - Viet Nam era

I have been contracted by my cousin to build up a model of her son's Chinook he flew in Viet Nam in the late '60s. I will be using Italeri's 1/48th ACH-47A, but leaving off the guns. What I am looking for is a decal of the 1st Cavalary Division, Airmoble and its placement on the aircraft. He was attached to Alpha Co, 228th Aviation Assault Support Battalion, Heavy Lift and I uncovered their website, but unfortunately not too many pics of Chinooks. Bill flew serial number 65-08000 and I would also need to know where it was placed and color. I did note in some of the photos there appears to be a .50 cal. placed in the forward door area, but not sure if this was a ACH-47A or a CH-47A. I am attempting to replicate Bill's Chinook as accurately as possible and would appreciate any assistance. Dick McC
